Sprained my ankle coming to the end of last nights walk so have had to postpone my walking, will be back to it ASAP

So far I am feeling more positive and have lost 6lb just with walking and cutting my portion sizes Think I have found something that I can sustain and it is definatly working for me

I am using my Nokia sports tracker which gives accurate distance hence the 4.01's and the 6.42's, its definatly keeping me motivated and its good to see my progress, it spurrs me on

I too use my phone. I have two things on it, one is a basic pedometer which is pretty accurate. That I use most days. Then I have a gps tracker but don't use it often as it eats the battery up. Due to gps my route again on 23rd. I walked at average 2.9 mph last month according to my gps tracker. The speed has increased since I started walking last December when it was 2.4mph. I do around 5 miles a day.

Thanks ! I average about 3-4 mph depending on terrain and weather conditions I make sure I walk fast enough so I can still hold a conversation but breathy if you know what i mean, legs are killin me today! Am off out again in abit, just finished work so hoping for a 4 miler today

Thats fab! I use Endomundo and also sports tracker, they really keep me focused! Amazing how a few documented numbers can keep me on track haha, you are doing great, keep it up!

Well done! I get scared, don't like walking in the dark 4 miles is good going? Does your little piece of techy equipment tell you how many calories you might have burnt? Xxxx

Healthy eating, portion control and exercise!! exercise and exercise!!!!

Well the places I go are a racecourse, 1 lap is 2 miles, or I do a circuit round my town, its got good hills and decent flat for speed walking, when i have the energy lol, I usually go on the round town walks during the week then the racecourse at weekends or on my days off
